Posted elsewhere, but putting a second one here, just in case someone else knows. Losing Matt's insight stinks (plus great guy), therefore casting a wider net - So, Hobie fiberglass rudders aren't hollow, for obvious reasons, but does anyone know what they're filled with? They are 2 clam shells of a mold reattached, but I can't recall if it's just a mix of resin and micro-balloons or some kind of special filler. It's not expanding urethane foam... Ideas? I think I remember it being white-ish. |

I could be wrong, but I've always been under the impression that it's some kind of (dense) foam. When doing a repair, that's what it looks/feels like to me. I would think they'd be a lot heavier if it were resin/microballoons. (But I could be wrong about that, too!) |
